Happy Saturday to you all.Hope you are all doing ok. I have a card to share today that I made for a work colleague of Mikes.

I used a stamp that was one of the very first stamp sets that I bought many moons ago! I am not sure who it is by though as I haven't got the original packaging.It is quite a well used stamp and it is great to paper piece.The sentiment is from Ladybug Crafts Ink. I have added liquid pearls and stickles.Have a great day whatever you get up to.Hugs Sally xxxx

Can you believe the title only 5 months to Christmas!So I am here this morning to share a couple of cards for the Christmas blog hop that I play along with each month. I must say that I think these are the quickest two cards that I have ever made....... The thing is that I got confused with which month we were on and actually made these for last months challenge so for once this post has been ready and waiting to go live for a month!So the theme this month was non traditional Christmas colours.I have chosen Black and White which for me isn't a combination that I would usually go for but I quite like the way that the cards turned out :)The first one is using an image from Penny Black called Snow Joy that I got from The Glitter Pot recently in the Sale :) Coloured with Promarkers and Polychromo pencils

About Me

Hello its Sally here glad you have popped over to my blog. This is where I share my creations with you mostly made from paper.
I have been card making now for about 8 years and absolutely love it. I find crafting is a great escape and very relaxing. I tend to spend my spare time which isnt always that much doing some sort of crafting. I can sit for hours colouring images especially with Polychromo or Prisma pencils.
My most recent craft is crochet which I am learning slowly.
It would be great if you leave me a comment so I know you have been. I hope you find some inspiration here at my blog.
